Perovskites: Illuminating the Path for Next-Gen MicroLED Displays

Perovskites are a family of materials with the same basic structure that can have an impressive array of interesting properties, including unique optical properties. Metal halide perovskites offer several advantages for use as components of LEDs and displays. They are direct-bandgap semiconductor materials that possess high photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) reaching 100%, they have narrow and symmetric PL peaks (full width at half-maximum about 15–30 nm, which is even better than for the traditional QDs) that enables wide color gamuts and they can easily be synthesized and processed at room temperature, or vapor-processed at low temperatures (typically <180°C) using inexpensive precursors.

An example of a perovskite structure

Perovskite materials can benefit the MicroLED industry in two ways: as materials for color conversion (using perovskite-based QDs) and in perovskite-based LED emitters. Much R&D work is taking place on both these fronts, and interest seems to be growing.

Researchers develop polarized LCD backlighting unit based on semipolar microLEDs and perovskite materials

Researchers from several Universities in China developed a self-polarizing RGB device utilizing semipolar microLEDs and perovskite based films aimed at improving backlight applications.

In standard LCD displays, the backlighting units emits non-polarized light, which then results in an almost 50% light loss as this light has to pass through a polarizer (this is part of the LCD light path). The newly developed high-performance device is designed to emit RGB polarized light which results in higher efficiency and no light-loss dueo to the LCD filter.

Avantama and Scrona collaborate to show how perovskite QDs can be inkjet printed on microLEDs using EHD

Scrona, developer of high-precision electrohydrodynamic (EHD) inkjet print heads joined forces with Avantama, developer and manufacturer of high-tech materials for electronics, and have successfully processed high-performance perovskite quantum dot (QD) ink using Scrona's EHD inkjet printing. 

The two companies specifically target microLED displays with this development, as depositing QDs on microLEDs requires extremely high precision. They have demonstrated that an OD greater than 1 can be obtained with a perovskite QD layer thickness below 2µm. This can reduce the printhead nozzle count by a factor of five (compared to current non-EHD inkjet solutions) and deliver a thin QD layer that improves the overall efficiency and production tact time of MicroLED display technology.

Researchers from MIT developed a bottom-up technique to form perovskite microLEDs

Researchers at MIT have developed a bottom-up approach for precise and scalable formation of perovskite nanocrystal arrays with deterministic control over size, number, and position. This new technology enables the deposition of halide perovskite nanocrystals with precise control over the location and size of each individual crystal, integrating them into nanoscale light-emitting diodes.

Researchers grow precise arrays of nanoLEDs image

The researchers demonstrated deterministic arrays of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals with tunable dimensions down to <50 nm and positional accuracy <50 nm.
